[QUOTE="Archimedes314, post: 3908514, member: 41463"] I think the OP is afraid that the Dread Necro PC will turn on him, and is just asking what to do if this happens. That said, give your artificer cohort craft contingent spell (from Complete Arcane). A suite of contingent effects that go off if your lich buddy attacks your or your wife's character (note: be very careful in your wording, DMs love twisting it so it either doesn't trigger when you need it or triggers at an inopportune time) would be extremely effective, basically granting your character the advantage of a preemptive strike, without having to worry about the ethical implications of such. I would have, at the very least, an attack spell of some kind (preferably one based off of a fort save), a disjunction (which will probably screw him royally), a healing spell, and a greater teleport or planeshift to a pre-determined location (along with a contingent true resurrection triggered by your character's death, also, I'm away from my books and can't remember exactly what types of spells can be made contingent). Once your character and your wife's character have reached the safehouse (which should be underground on another plane, with lead sheeting in the walls, and once you get there your wife's cleric should ward it with a forbiddance [which you take down before you leave]), heal and shore up your defenses (do this as quickly as possible, he is probably doing the same thing). Then immediately teleport/plane shift back and attack him. His fortitude save is probably horrible, so hit him with another disintegrate. Once you destroy his physical body finding his phylactery is priority number one. I can't really provide any tips on doing that, though (other than, "Use legend lore!"), seeing as I don't know the guy and thus the likely places he would hide it. Also, epic spells will make this a lot easier, especially if you can finagle it so they have absurdly low DCs (like 1 or 0). [/QUOTE]
